Saints are only 3-point favorites.

Surprised by how Vegas is seeing this game after last nights masterpiece on both sides of the ball for the Saints.....I guess they are expecting a big let down.

I'm almost certain that our defense will play a much more aggressive type of game on Sunday. We did not dial up any bring the house blitzes against Watson because we didn't want him to kill us with his legs. When the Falcons held the Saints to 9 points they sacked Brees 6 times. I think we sit in zone and keep everything in front of us until they reach our 35yd line and then start dialing up the blitzes. Make them use up some clock.

Their defense likes to bring the heat and is top 5 in sack numbers this yr and they are solid at stuffing the run....we have to try and get ahead of the chains.
 
I think the Titans being at home is the primary reason for that. Saints have the perceived reputation of being a different team outside of superdome

I looked up their home and away stats for offense and defense for this yr and not a huge difference ---

the defense gives up 22.9 at home and 20 on the road

the offense puts up 28.4 at home and scores 25.2 on the road
 
I'd like to see Blasingame, however you spell his name, get so carries at RB. Hell I'd like to see jonnu take some snaps at RB too, we know Henry isn't 100% so he's going to be on a snap count. I have zero faith in Lewis getting a ton of carries.
 
Titans will win, give the fan base false hope, make Vrabel look like a genius and then they’ll get swept by the Cows in the season finale and miss the playoffs.
 
At least we have the benefit of seeing the Twxans play Saturday, so we can make an informed decision about rather or not to rest Henry.

If Texans lose, we can win the division, so we play him.

If Texans win, the Saints game is meaningless, because our only paths to the playoffs is a Titans win @Hiustin and 1 Steelers loss (@Jets or @Ravens OR Titans lose out and Steelers lose out. So, we can rest Henry as it is a meaningless game.

It is a tough call...you know the team wants to win and that Henry wants to go after the rushing title.....but if the game doesn't change our playoff chances then it does make sense to rest anyone who is injured and get them ready for the game that really matters against the Texans

I think the rushing title ship sailed last week, when he lost a lot of ground to Chubb. I think Vrabel will do the right thing and rest him, if the Texans win.
 
Titans will probably close the season with a 10-6 record and lose the tie break to the Stoolers because they had the Ravens resting players.
 
At this point I only think he's getting playing time because of draft position. J Rob putting him out there hoping he pans out sooner or later.

It's a bit of a mystery why he hasn't been a more dominant player, however I saw an interview with him done by Wyatt last week and Corey is a majorly low key kinda dude, that may work against him in terms of not being more of an
aggressive advocate for being "the guy". Hope he turns it around but time is slowly running out for him ...
 
I'm in my fantasy championship this week and have been riding Tannehill and Henry for the latter half of the season. Bad matchup with a solid Saints D, and Henry being injured doesn't help. And of course Dalvin Cook is also hurt, and I'm going against McCaffrey. Not looking good.

I doubt JRob is telling Vrable to keep Corey on the field. He may not be near meeting expectations, but hes our 2nd best WR

I'm in the fantasy Super Bowl in my league, it's a 2-week Super Bowl. I rode Tannehill and Brown last week (along with CMC and Carson) to a 153-108 advantage ... as long as I stay within 45 points this week, I should be good.

My opponent is starting Bucs WR Perriman in the flex position ... I'd gladly surrender some insane 100pt game to him and lose my Super Bowl, if it means Week 17 is for the AFC South Championship. :D
